Nixon announces to the press he is now personally conducting an investigation, and has made significant progress towards finding the truth. He says he met with Kleindienst and Henry Peterson to determine the next course of action. He also spoke with Ervin and Baker to reach an agreement for White House participation in the Senate’s investigation. He hopes that no current or previous member of his administration that participated will receive immunity. Ziegler declares all of his previous comments related to Watergate should now be considered “inoperable.”
